I'd like to build a generously-sized battery pack (15s3p) out of these for use on an electric scooter, the idea being to make some size compromises (like an extra layer of cells on the footrest in a dedicated box...) in order to have a long-duration battery that I don't have to baby and worry about in the way you have to do with standard INR18650-based ones, at least if you want them to last you more than a few months.

I've checked out a few reviews of them and they seem to be pretty good performance-wise; they clock at 6 to 6.5Ah rather than the claimed 7Ah, but that's fine, and they can reliably deliver a whole bunch of amps even on their lonesome, let alone in a 3p configuration.

So that's great. Problem is, I can't seem to find reports on their long-term endurance. Given that that's the whole point of this crazy idea, otherwise I really might as well just build another standard battery instead and not have to hack together a custom case, I'd like to have some more info before I order four dozen of them.

Anyone aware of people using them for a good while?
 
Just use regular 18650s

They last very long if you use the right cells size the pack appropriately.
